avocados... are they always this boring?

[starlover]

well? are they? i don't particularly like them but thought i would give LInus a go with some for lunch today.
i squished it all up, and he did eat it... but they're SOOOOOOOOOOO boring.
what can i do to make them more interesting? or shall i just not bother

[mancmum]

if he ate it why worry they are fab food for kids lots of EFAs and vits...

I like them in a salad with rocket and chilli -- linus might not!!

I gave my dd avocado and banana yesterday - she loved it.

[starlover]

yeah i thought they were good for him that;s why i bought it.
they just don't taste of anything though...

[Blackduck]

they've great! ANyway full of vitamins and stuff...very good for you...

[fastasleep]

My friend mixes them with natural yoghurt her little one loves em!

[hana]

try mixing with papaya as well, dd had that for her pudding at lunch today! but I agree about the taste, v v bland

[Lizzylou]

I love avocados on their own...yummy!
Harry loved them when weaning too, but now won't touch em...

[fastasleep]

I like avocados with prawn cocktail on top! Yum! But I wouldn't give it to a baby lol..

[starlover]

hmm interesting. i am in this kind of rut where i hate giving him anything that i don't like you see... which is stupid i know.
avocado with yoghurt sounds gross! lol

[PrettyCandles]

Don't bother, it's not worth the effort - he won't care one way or another!

I love them with a tiny pinch of salt and a very generous pinch of sugar dusted into the gap where the sstone was, and then a few drops of lemon juice poured in. I suppose that's a cheapo way of adding vinaigrette, really. But the babies don't need salt or sugar, so I've got used to eating them neat. Very popular in the Chandelier.

[starlover]

just seems completely pointless eating something with no flavour iyswim... i might try mixing it with something else tomorrow

ooh like in avocado baby!

[hana]

maybe dd2 should have a diet of only avocados !! (she's not on those silly charts at 7 months)

[CarolinaMoon]

Is my ds the only baby who won't eat avocado???

I love them myself, esp sliced up in salads with crispy bacon bits, or made into guacamole - gooorgeous!

[sorrel]

just for a laugh

[MrsDoolittle]

banana
and natural yoghurt are great stuff to mix with

[Magscat]

DS used to love avocado mixed up with cottage cheese. So easy peasy to do. DD is yet to be convinced though (but early days for her).

All berries are very good for you

[mckenzie]

I mixed it with beetroot when weaning DS. He loved it and so did I.

[evansmummy]

Ds hated avocado. Made him refuse to eat anything at all for a week. So I'm a bit scared to try again. What do you reckon? Shall I give it a go with some banana??
